Forgive me if this has been discussed previously, I didn't see anything like it in recent discussions.
Twink has recently discovered her hands, which is so cute! Except for the fact that she seems to get super angry that she can't fit the whole thing in her mouth... and by that I mean like having all out screaming fits while trying to shove her whole hand in her mouth, sometimes both hands. She has been rejecting her pacifier during naps in favor of her hands and then wakes herself up because she's frustrated that she can't fit them in her mouth and I'm kinda desperate to get her to take a nap today, but that's a whole other story...
Any other mamas have a baby who's so desperate to self-cannibalize? And how long does the fascination usually last?
Re: Hand Gnawing?

S is the same way. I think it's pretty common for them to suck and gnaw on their hands at this point. It used to be her hunger cue, but now it's more just a thing to do. She'll start to cry and suck even harder though when she is hungry!
Hmm... I'm going to have to try this. I have a few A&A blankets that were recently given to me and I'll try blanket swaddling her again. She has been kicking out of my smaller swaddle blankets, but these might work better.
